Translating Trinity
by Jan Stolarek 08 Apr '14

08 Apr '14

I already said this twice in the past, but there wasn't much response: I'd like to help with translating Trinity into Polish language. At the moment there are many translations missing. I am willing to do the translation as long as I don't need to get into technical details like learning some fancy developer tools and alike. Just plain text files or some really simple dev tools.

Does official 3.5.13.2 SRU have hal or other hot-plugged h/w support?
by Z2 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

I'm referring to the batch of packages at http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/releases/3.5.… as the "official" 3.5.13.2 SRU, and was wondering if things like the old KDE desktop-popup-on-usbstick-insert is expected to work? I'm running hal-0.5.14, though that may not have been installed at the time I compiled kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2. I do notice that the kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2 that's on the official 3.5.13.2 SRU release page does _not_ have a visible "WITH_HAL" option, nor any other h/w related settings such as "WITH_UDISK" etc. So is it a known "feature" that this release doesn't isn't expected to work with hot-pluggable h/w, or is it just me? z.

How many 3.5.13.2 SRU's are there???
by Z2 07 Apr '14

07 Apr '14

Hello, I'm a bit frustrated: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/releases/3.5.… gives a list of trinity packages in TDE 3.5.13.2. To use one example of a package listed on that page (there are many more examples), I can get kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2.tar.xz from there. Now I go to the git webpage: http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/ and there is no such package as kdelibs-trinity or kde* anything for that matter. But, there is tdelibs, with a tdelibs-3.5.13.2 tarball: v3.5.13.2 tdelibs-3.5.13.2.zip tdelibs-3.5.13.2.tar.gz Slávek Banko 10 months So, just to state what's looking pretty obvious, your http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/trinitydesktop.org/trinity/releases/3.5.… release page is about as useful as tits on a boar, right? Look, tdelibs-3.5.13.2, for all intents and purposes, has the appearance of belonging to trinity-blah-blah-blah release "3.5.13.2". But its not listed on the release page for the oh so boldly announced: "2013.07.21: Trinity Desktop Environment 3.5.13.2 SRU Released!" Why am I wrong in assuming that packageXXX-3.5.13.2 would belong to the "TDE 3.5.13.2 SRU Released!" collection of tarballs? Isn't 3.5.13.2 == 3.5.13.2 ? Maybe not. And even if I'm wrong about that, why isn't kdelibs-trinity even so much as listed on the GIT page? Even if its obsolete, there should a dead-link or something there saying so...whatever, not important. What is important is the fact that kdelibs-trinity-3.5.13.2 is vastly different than tdelibs-3.5.13.2, to wit, tdelibs has additional directories and functionality, etc. So two packages, each with the same version, only one of which is needed, and both of which fullfill the same role, are currently in a state where the obsolete one is listed as part of the official release download page, and the good one can't even be found referenced as part of the official release. So is there a collection of tarballs for a particular release, such as 3.5.13.2 SRU, or not? Should I just pull all tarballs from the git page? And if its just something as simple as a rename of kdelibs-trinity -> tdelibs, why wasn't the version bumped when extra directories were added? Never mind, I don't care about the "why" of anything. I just want to know where the hell I can download a set of "official" (whatever that means) packages for tde-3.5.13.2. And the release page ain't it...And by the way, I'm looking for source code, not some pansy mamby-pamby prebuilt set of binaries. Thanks, z.

Testing latest R14 nightly
by John Pisini 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

I tried the latest r14 nightly out on Ubuntu 12.04 for the most part it works very well, hats off to you guys. Seems faster than 3.5 and svg files seem to be handled better in this version. I like the reorganization of the control panel menus. A couple of small things I noticed Konqueror the file manager locks up (on two machines and a VM) requiring it to be shut then reopened. Also KLcdDimmer no longer works in this version. If I get some free time I will open bug reports but I am not really sure what to put in for the file manager I get no errors it just stops responding but will let me close it and reopen no issues.

I also tried purging hal package but with no result. One thing that changed after the upgrade is that kpowersave icon in the tray is greyed out when I log into Trinity, as if HAL was not accessable. Only after several seconds it becomes normal. Please note that kpowersave reports HAL as enabled and complains when I shut down hal daemon. So there seems to be some communication between them (just reading from HAL?). Is there any way I can debug this? I recall struggling with similar problem under KDE3 and OpenSUSE. Back then it was a matter of some dbus permissions. > This embarrassing situation was a strong motivator for the complete > removal of HAL in R14. ;-) This begs the question when will R14 be released.

KPowerSave doesn't indicate battery level
by Jan Stolarek 01 Apr '14

01 Apr '14

I recently upgraded from Squeeze to Wheezy and at the sam time I upgraded Trinity. I just realized that after this upgrade KPowerSave: a) always indicates that the power cord is plug in, even if it's not; b) does not show battery level c) after going into KPowerSave settings display and selecting a power scheme on the first tabs display brightness and CPU speed are greyed out and marked as "not supported" Calling `acpi -b` indicates battery level correctly. I also notcied that in KControlCenter I can't control brightness in Display settings. OTOH I can change display broghtness by using function keys. I suspect that I might be missing some packages or that permissions might be incorrect. Thoughts? Janek
